WHY GENSTEM?
This event is for both ‘women in…’ and any other minority groups or societies studying and working in STEM. GenSTEM has evolved out of the successful 'Women in STEM Networking' event run for the past 3 years. After discussions with societies and the MPLS ED&I team, it was felt that a new event would better reflect the changing objectives of the societies involved and offer more diversity in scope for representation and audience.
Speaker platforms will be held for those in minority groups. Men and other groups/societies are all cordially invited to attend as allies and audience.
The event will combine a platform for those in minority groups to showcase their research and to hear from a panel debating the key issues facing minority groups. There is also the opportunity to meet societies and external organisations hosting stands.
One of the biggest strengths of this event will be to bring together groups within MPLS across departments to be part of something wider with a greater sense of community, shared challenges and issues. Join in and help us to create a more vibrant community across STEM!
If you can identify with these objectives and feel it is relevant for you, then you and your society are very welcome!
